Olayinka Okin, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Olayinka!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working in the Mental Health and Social Services fields for about 7 years, serving Fresno and Madera County.

My focus

Clients who are navigating life issues that appear in forms of anxiety, past, or recent trauma that are manifesting in suicidal ideations, irrational thoughts, and maladaptive behaviors.

My approach

What my clients can expect from the first session is information about how therapy works. I think it is crucial for my clients to understand the basic fundamentals of a therapeutic session to ensure clarity and realistic expectations. My clients can also expect a Licensed Therapist who is empathetic and non-biased.

My communication style

My communication styles are warm, direct, empathetic, supportive, and empowering.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a Licensed Therapist, my main goal is to provide healthy coping skills and problem-solving interventions that provide support to the client in managing difficult life challenges. I provide treatment goals that are tailored to each individual client's needs because therapy is not a "one size fits all."

My goals for you

Improving relationships, replacing maladaptive behaviors with healthy coping skills, and gaining personal insights that promote a positive sense of self.

Our first session

My greatest strength as a Licensed Therapist is my empathetic and empowering approach.
